Something of a side issue, but this is more proof that Bernie Sanders has the WORST people instincts I have seen in Democratic Party politics.

$130 million could spot the monthly salary of about 55K E3s. There are about 185K active duty soldiers at E3.

So. Doubtful.

28 Minutes In: "...in the year 5786, with a world in shambles and Judaism in a spiritual, moral crisis, I am here to tell you that we will not walk away from the Call, and we will not walk away from the Promise, not of Judaism and not of Israel. Because if we walk away, we know what will remain."

I think the fact that LLMs can score above a 700 on SAT reading section, suggests we need to push hard on the Simple View, even the expanded Scarborough version, as insufficient as a view of reading, but then we'd have to get people to embrace there are elements too hard to measure.

Can I be provocative? Based on the Simple View, LLMs do read. They have syntactical knowledge, vocabulary knowledge, they have background knowledge (although not paywalled specialized knowledge), and they have some form of verbal reasoning.

Based on the reading that we MEASURE, they read.

“I’m not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching because, according to our president, there’s only two genders,” the student says. “He said that he would be freezing agencies’ funding programs that promote gender ideology....I am not going to participate in this because it’s not legal.”

"Texas A&M University swiftly fired a lecturer and removed two administrators after a student filmed herself arguing with the instructor that a children’s literature course broke the law because the coursework recognized more than two genders."

Much of what Republicans are doing is genuinely terrifying.

And then 95% of the rest is just breath takingly silly.

Mostly I think I am seizing an opportunity to be annoyingly pedantic.
